I have an obsession with vintage hardware for furniture...whether it's pulls, knobs or handles...I'm all in...crystal, brass or porcelain. I don't have enough projects for all the pieces I have collected. So you will find them at Vintage Home Shop and in some of my favorite shops on Etsy.

Mary and I took a trip up to see her family in the Shenandoah Valley and in West Viriginia. Thankfully her family loves hunting for treasures as much as we do. Her sister Melanie told us about a farm auction taking place near her parents house...we took the winding foothill roads and found the farm full of trucks and suv's...

Note* Don't take a picture during an auction...the auctioneer thought I was bidding ! Nearly bought myself some kitchen cabinets! Us city women sort of stuck out in the crowd.

Mary picked up this awesome horse color...real farmers don't want things like this...they are there for the practical pieces that will enhance their farms.

I won the bid on a "lot" of horse yokes...ended up with 8..Mary got the large one as a project for her very talented husband Lloyd...

Melanie says "Hey Camille, see that guy in the flannel shirt and the hat?"...I said "They all have flannel shirts and hats!" We laughed WAY too loud...!The farm auction is a wonderful experience...don't be afraid that it may be a sad situation...most aren't. These folks had sold their farm and were selling the barn piece by piece at a very good profit. It also benefits the community of farmers, whether they are "Gentleman Farmers" or Full Time Farmers. (or Etsy Shop owners)

What do you think? I love this as a rack and may convert the others as well...
